LASANSKY EXHIBITION TO OPEN AT CARLETON
Northfield, Minn. — An exhibition of over 30 works by the distinguished international
printmaker Mauricio Lasansky will open March 26 at the Carleton Art Gallery, Carleton
College. Titled "Mauricio Lasansky: A Retrospective," the exhibit will be on display
through April 18.
Lasansky is known for his large-scale prints using multiple plates and a full
color range. The works shown at Carleton were created between 1944 and 1982, and the
exhibition highlights the growth of Lasansky's artistic personality as well as the
development of his themes and motifs.
The artist was born in Argentina and came to the United States as a young man to
study printmaking. For almost two years he worked with other ground-breaking artists
at Atelier 17, the New York printmaking workshop.
In 1945 he joined the faculty at the School of Art and Art History at the University of Iowa, where he continues to teach. In 1965 he was the second person to hold
the Ward Lucas Lectureship at Carleton College, and in 1979 the College recognized his
achievement with an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree.
Lasansky's work has been exhibited all over the world, including the collections
of the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Modern Art,
Philadelphia Museum of Art, the University of Minnesota, the Library of Congress, the
New York Public Library and the Uffizi Gallery.
Phillip Lasansky, curator of this exhibit, will give a gallery talk on Monday,
March 26, at 7:30 p.m. in the Carleton Art Gallery. This exhibition has been organized
by the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art and was supported by a grant from the Iowa Arts
Council and the Museum's Art Advancement Program.
Carleton Art Gallery hours are 1:00 to 5:00 and 7:00 to 10:00 p.m., daily.
The Carleton Prints of Mauricio Lasansky will be on display in the College's
Boliou Gallery, March 27 through April 6. Dale Haworth, professor of art history,
director of exhibitions and curator of the Carleton Collection, will give a lecture
titled "Ink and Paper—A History of 20th Century Prints" at 7:30 p.m. in the Boliou
Auditorium on Tuesday, April 3.
Boliou Gallery hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday; 7:00 to
